As the owners and innkeepers of Nestle Inn B&B downtown for the past 11 years, we were perplexed by your investigative
report [in the Aug. 2 Focus], “Overshadowed and underappreciated?”
Indianapolis has made strides toward becoming a “greener” city in the last few years. Reusing what we discard makes sense, but not everything should be disposable.
That includes the sports landmarks we’ve made a habit of turning into rubble.
It’s common in any business or organization that hears about an incredible success and tries to replicate it by following the same steps.
People are divided on what they want, skeptical about the ability of government to provide services, and resentful about paying for those services they do not perceive as benefiting themselves.
After years of easy borrowing that helped boost economic growth, governments around the globe are dealing with evil twinsâ??high levels of debt and shrinking revenue to repay.
Named for hotel owner and local businessman Turner Woodard, Turner’s Restaurant maintains a cozy feel despite the decidedly
upscale environment.
There are economic lessons here. The most important is that the value of things is necessarily determined by what is known in econo-jargon as utility.
With apologies to Willie Nelson, the truth is I could wait to get on the road again.
Of this, that and the other as the lazy, hazy, not-so-crazy days of summer begin to wind down.
We’ve had a wellness program
at IBJ for seven years. However, it became clear to me recently that we have only been scratching the surface with
what should be a top priority.
We’re happy to see that partisanship didn’t sink Mayor Greg Ballard’s plan to sell Indianapolis’

Wartime familiarity should make us more tolerant of our differences and care more for one another’s children.
In most productions of the raucous musical comedy “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” the lead
character, Pseudolus, is a just-this-side-of desperate middle-age guy with an overactive libido who could break out in a major
sweat at any moment.
I’m happy to report that the new, locally owned Shebella’s exceeds pizza buffet

Seems like almost every day a new social media platform is born. If you added them all up, you would easily be in the hundreds.
Obviously, all of them are too much for all of us to pay much attention to, but there are a few you should not only know about,

Years ago, when technology was just starting to classify and count all of us, we worried we’d become merely numbers.

This problem [at Black Expo] is nothing new; it has a long history of violence and disrespect for the community we all live
